Trouble with gitk and ActiveState tcltk on OS X

Hi all,

I'm hoping that another OS X git user can point me in the right direction...

I installed the ActiveState tcltk and set the following in git/config.mak:

    TCLTK_PATH=/usr/local/bin/wish8.5

With this, git gui works great (I get a real icon when switching apps and the overall look is more consistent than when I was running with X11 + MacPorts tcltk).

But gitk does not work. gitk starts up but no window appears. The menus appear, but that's it.

If I start X11 and switch the wish path to /opt/local/bin/wish in the gitk script, then things work. Any suggestions for running gitk without X11 on OS X?

Thanks,
+ seth
